Chapter 1323
Jeremy slowed down because of that word.
It had been so long since he heard that name, and he would still feel sweet when he heard it.
The memory that seemed to be covered in the dust as time passed was once again unfolded before his eyes.
Jeremy figured that Madeline was also probably thinking of the unforgettable memory of being at the beach with him back then.
He smiled knowingly, and suddenly, he had an urge to tease Madeline.
“Is the Jez you’re talking about a very important person to you?” Jeremy asked deliberately in suspicion.
Madeline snapped back from her memories and answered seriously without thinking, “Of course, he’s important.”
“How important?”
When Madeline was about to answer, she suddenly retorted unhappily, “Why should I tell you?”
“…” Jeremy had nothing to say at that moment. In fact, he knew the answer in his heart a long time ago.
‘Linnie, I’ll make you slowly remember that I’m the Jez who’s very important to you,’ Jeremy promised silently. Just then, he felt his shoulders getting heavier.
Madeline seemed to be exhausted. She leaned on his shoulder and gradually entered a state of sleepiness.
When Jeremy returned to the apartment with her on his back, she was already asleep.
When he came back, he realized that the noodles he was cooking earlier were now overcooked.
He took Madeline back to the bed and lay her down. Then, he immediately cleaned up the kitchen and started cooking some porridge.
He did not know when Madeline would wake up, so he planned to stay by her side. Not long after he sat down, the doorbell of the apartment rang.
Jeremy saw his colleague from Interpol through the peephole. He opened the door and asked about Ryan’s whereabouts. “Is there any news about Ryan?”
His colleague shook his head and said with a serious face, “There’s no news about Ryan for the time being. The higher-ups are worried that he might come to you for revenge, so I’ve arranged flight tickets to send you, your wife, and your wife’s family back to Glendale tomorrow.”
